This is new at Costco, and only available there now. It is ~$350 for three APs. Sorry I’m not good with hardware specs, but are these worth splurging on? I need reliable Wi-Fi 6 to replace a formerly reliable Orbi system. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums @ZeroKühl.

TP-Link? For $350? No.

From Costco? Allowing returns for 6 months plus? Maybe worth trying (but note that your time is worth something too).

But I wouldn't waste too much time on this if it hiccups even once, it would be returned immediately.

The immediate concern is that TP-Link issues new models regularly and drops support for them in as little as 6 months. Not what I would spend $350 on.

What's your current system and what are your goals? How big of a space are you trying to cover?

I use a Zyxel NWA210AX and it covers 1300+ sq ft with AX and I can hit internal speeds of up to 1.5gbps. These are on Amazon for $180/ea and 2 of them would be better than the TPL setup for about the same price.
